Gardens tucked into roofs and balconies beautify our urban mosaic and connect us to nature. But every urban terrace gardener knows the challenge of dealing with conditions such as harsh sun, perpetual shade, relentless wind, and managing plants confined to containers. Learn how to tailor your plant choices for pots and planters while developing simple maintenance techniques to keep a harmonious terrace garden that's healthy and lush all season long.
